On Sunday, Chicago's Union Park held the inaugural AAHH! Fest, which was organized by Common and Donda's House and featured artists such as De La Soul, Lupe Fiasco, and Jennifer Hudson. (Dave Chappelle hosted the event, too.) During Common's set, he brought out a previously teased "very special guest": Hometown hero Kanye West, who bounded out to do "Get Em High" with Common, plus songs like "Jesus Walks", "Can't Tell Me Nothing", "Power", "All of the Lights", and more. Watch video below, via All Hip Hop. Update: Kanye's full set has now surfaced; watch it below via CoS.
